on my last tip to the dunes i had the fastest raptor, but got killed by the shee's and zillas, i want more power! OK ...im finally outta high school (thank god) and im getting some money from family and friends. what one should i get? i want to go fast but still have something to play on trails and just screwin around. so 690 686 or 720 or, i also like the sound of the 770...??? so pretty much what one will get me to the top of the hill first!!!
help me out here and by the way.. im 18 and my daddy did not pay one cent for my raptor, i do all the work myself, and i know my shiz when it comes to quads and have been riding for my whole life!
thanks JoeL

 

To be honest with you there are people on here who have the $$$$ and resources you probally dont.Any bigger than the 686 aka 690 and then you split your case,bigger carbs,upgrade the tranny,etc. Honestly ? 686 kit is prob the best way. you will beat 75% of the raptors, the other 25% got more $$$ and you couldnt have beat them anyway.

For what you just listed you could get another Raptor!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

MichaelAZ,

<< To be honest with you there are people on here who have the $$$$ and resources you probally dont >>


what up w/ that dude? y wouldn't u think that i don't have the money??? i have 2 grand to play with so i have the money!
airraptor- was the 1350 w/ them doing the work w/ the 686 cylinder bore, Power hone, 11:1 compression 102mm Piston setup, camshaft and valve springs, head port/polish and Teardown, Inspection and Assembly???
i have the money and want to go fast!

 

Relax bro dont get all hot and bothered ! Hell, I own my business with multimillion sales anually and I dont have the bank to hang with some of the people on here. $2000 will probally make you faster than 75% of the bikes out there but trust me, there are guys out there that can and will drop what ever it takes to be the fastest,if it means $25,000 so be it. Have you ever seen anyone take a bike from the dealer to a hopup shop and drop $10,000 without ever riding the bike ?? I have. No matter how much you have , someones got more and he's gonna spend it so figure out what makes YOU happy and do that. What good does $2000 into a engine do if your 2001 trans cant handle it ?? What about suspension ? Got a swing-arm ? You'll need one with the new power. Axle ?? A-arms ?? Shocks ?? Carbs ?? Trust me, its gonna take you $$$$$$. I myself will only get a 686 and bigger carbs soon. Why should I spend more $$$ when 1) I still wont be the fastest 2)I can hurt myself just fine with a 686 and put the rest of the $$$ towards my medical bills [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

michaelAZ, well put...couldnt have said it better...

 

MichaelAZ its all good dude. im just pionting out that im no corndog, full of hot air. im not tring to be the fastest at glamis or any of the big dunes just want to turn a few heads and **** of a couple shee owners. i plan on getting a 02 tranny, i heard it was like 400 to swap it out. and how did u get a trioval mines is just a oval. and my pipe looks nothing like yours. do u know hw long it takes trinity to do the work and ship it back???
im out peace, JoeL

 

Its all good here on my end also disturbed. As far as the trioval pipe it is the '02 full race titanium if that help at all. As far as the turn around time at trinty I would expect it to be minimum 6 weeks maybe more BUT call Harry, he is the owner and accessable and will tell you the truth one way or another.
